Landfill Tax: Fraud
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent estimate he has made of the amount of revenue lost to the Exchequer through landfill tax fraud in the last 12 months.
- Answer
-
HM Revenue & Customs publishes estimates of the amount of Landfill Tax revenue lost as part of its annual Measuring Tax Gaps report. The most recent estimate gives a Landfill Tax gap of 18.4% of the theoretical Landfill Tax liability, or £150 million in the 2021 to 2022 tax year. The Landfill Tax gap is based on an experimental methodology and has high uncertainty.
